There are about 50 steps from medication warehouse to administration- Linking Shields means ensuring every step is safe, efficient and links to the next: Think Swiss Cheese, FMEA, or Eating an Elephant- it's huge but we aim to make it digestible!

Today we look at the issue of alarm fatigue, and how we can help mitigate against it.

In this, our fourth Scutum, we look at the data that comes out of smart pumps: How this data is generated from 'Good Saves', from hard and soft limits, from different profiles from all over the hospital and how this CQI data helps us look into the dark corners, at workarounds, and how our risk management system can raise staff up.

So, come along with us and help us and celebrate good saves!

In this, our first EVER episode we look at the size of the problem. We look into the dark corners, at workarounds, at how the system can either raise you up or pull you down. We look at every part of the medication chain (well maybe not every part...) We'll give some scary numbers, tell tales of data and personal experiences of medication error, and think about the second victim.

And if this all seems a bit dark... then don't worry sunshine and fresh air is coming in subsequent episodes as we look at medication management solutions, celebrate successes and 'good catches' and look at risk management systems that raise us up!
